My Journey through Breast Cancer

On October 11, 2013, I was diagnosed with Stage II Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) ... or as we like to call it, extreme measures for a nap (EMFN). For a while, this blog will be my cancer journal. Enter at your own risk.

To celebrate Caleb's 34th birthday, we took the clan to Disneyland! Caleb got his free gift card, and Josie got to go on a few rides ... all of which she cried through. We're such horrible parents. Her cries convinced the Jungle Cruise captain to take a hit of water from one of the elephants for her; her cries on Buzz Lightyear weren't even heard over the noise; and her cries on the Finding Nemo submarine ride brought looks of sympathy from nearby passengers. After that we decided she didn't need to go on any more rides, and we fought massive crowds to get to dinner and do some shopping. All in all it was a good day.

I am the wife of one hunky man, the super mom of three adorable little girls, and master of two dogs and a fish named Nemo. Life is crazy, exhausting and often Lord-of-the-Flies-ish ... but life is good!

the short version

I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer on October 11, 2013, at the age of 38. I had a bi-lateral, or double mastectomy on November 7. I began chemo in early December, which will last until mid-April. Final reconstructive surgery should happen some time early in the summer of 2014. I will then go on living happily ever after.

His Hunkyness w Josephine

This is hubby. Isn't he hunky? He is the reason I climb mountains, love baseball and the animated Star Wars series, and have learned to relax about the little things. Without him life would truly be dull (and sadly devoid of video game lessons).
